'The feeling that the very concept of objective truth is fading out of the world
... this prospect frightens me much more than bombs'
On the 70th anniversary of George Orwell's death, a new collection of his
brilliant essays written during the Second World War
Fascism and Democracy collects five brilliant examples of Orwell's writing
during the darkest days of World War Two. Grappling with the principles of
democracy and the potential of reform, the meaning of literature and free speech
in times of violence, and the sustainability of objective truth, Orwell offers a
compelling portrayal of a nation where norms and ideals can no longer be taken
for granted. Like the best of Orwell's writing, these essays also serve as
timeless reminders of the fragility of freedom.
